Season Outlook (2010)
"Meagan is one of the most consistent pitchers we've ever had, and this year, she has really stepped into a leadership role with the younger members of the team," Head Coach Brenda Coldren said. "She's been a great mentor, and she has challenged herself to take our team to the next level. With her attitude, work ethic and ball movement, Meagan is ready to take on the teams in the Missouri Valley. She has worked extremely hard to improve her game during the off season, and we have seen some great things early on."
